obama, but it has changed michelle. she is a political pro. she is terrific in the delivery, and she knew exactly what to do and she did it. ann romney knew what she had to do and did it. both spouses in this case are terrific assets for their husband. michelle went out there, and she knew how to energize the base, but at the same time in a race with the romneys and ones were eating tuna and one was in a s rusty car and so after we got past the race of who was poorer and lived more humbly as young people, we could get to the policy. so it was a different speech poli policy-wise, but humanizing the men they were married to, and you see obama in four years, he's no longer the poor chicago state senator that we first met in 2004. he is now a millionaire who has been living in the white house and flying around in air force one, and so she had to humanize him and not just romney. >> it is the argument that your parents make. i had to go to school uphill both ways. >> barefoot. >> yes, barefoot as well. >> and marie, what is

while republicans dragged a chair onstage to conjure up an invisible president obama, michelle obama critiqued governor romney without mentioning his name, drawing sharp contrasts with her husband and creating a profile in negatives. >> barack's success isn't about how much money you make. it's about the difference you make in people's lives. we learned about honesty and integrity, that the truth matters, that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules. he's the same man who started his career by turning down high-paying jobs. the issues that come across a president's desk are always the hard ones. the problems where no amount of data or numbers will get you to the right answer. i have seen first-hand that being president doesn't change who you are. no, it reveals who you are. >> joining us now from charlotte, north carolina, is margaret carlson of bloomberg news. margaret, great to see you. before i get to you, i want to send a question over to our folks on set. senator bradley, someone who has in fact run for president, i want to ask you the question of michelle obam
